| Need inspiration Hi all, Just trying this photo of my son (centre) with 2 cousins on this forum, see what you can come up with. Love the expression on the boy on your right, staring into nothingness. I've tried all sorts but as I've said before "I'm not very creative" I need some inspiration. John  |

| Just a quick sketch effect. Doing this at work, just installed photoshop and something is wonky at this end (the original looks blue to me on this monitor, but when I paste it into photoshop its brown (the greys in the color palette are brown too) when I save for web looks blue again. |

| Maybe selective tinting... to create focal points/ bring certain details out. I was going to focus on there faces but I got a little carried away... had to go away and sit on my hands awhile... but I hope you catch my drift. I just did a sepia and used a soft brush at low opacity (varied 10-30%) and set to 'colour' mode to gradually build the colour in. I had a bit of fun with this cute pic... I had to guess on colours, so I apologise if I am way off the mark there. |

| What creative minds you've all got Thanks for some great ideas there, oltenius, yea I see what you mean about the hair now I've looked at it again,(funny how a later look provides a different view) I'll have to see what I can do. lkroll, didn't see that for a second, how the hell did you do that? Littlecoo, that, I tell you, is not far from the mark on colour! Love them all, I envy you lot.....John. |

I used ASCIIGen to create the text file and pasted it with the Code VB Code and the Fontsize set to 1 (smallest setting). Unfortunately, ASCIIGen requires DotNet now (the version which I have doesn't; it's old but still effective).  |

| palms1, not exactly a wrestler, he's more a footballer (soccer) but I love your take.... Littlecoo, GOD, what patiance you've got! great colouring, if you get really bored the neck ties were burgundy...lol lkroll, I think I'll pass on that effect then, can't think when I'd use it anyway, but it's an original idea.

For future reference our preference at RP is to upload/attach images (100 KB max) instead of linking to galleries or other sites. That way when you redo your pBase gallery down the road, there won't be a broken link in your post. Keep the creativity coming. You've got a nack for this type of thing. ~Danny~ =========== Littlecoo: Exceptional work on this one. Simply outstanding. =========== |
